Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths, but new advances
in prevention, lung cancer screening and research are helping to save
more lives. And, here at MD Anderson, we're leading the fight against
lung cancer by focusing on prevention, lung cancer screening and
personalized lung cancer treatment through our Moon Shots Program, an
ambitious program to reduce cancer deaths for several cancers and
ultimately find cures for these...

MD Anderson has close to 2,000 doctors. Several hundred never treat
patients, yet they are crucial to our mission.

"Our
mission is to end cancer, not just provide excellent care," says
Helen Piwnica-Worms, Ph.D., vice provost of Science. "We don't
yet know enough, so our faculty must include a robust community of
researchers who apply their scientific expertise to answer important
biological questions."
